Healthy Habits for your Heart

A healthy heart is a key to good health, but it's not easy to maintain. It takes daily effort and commitment to make changes that will help keep your heart healthy. Here are some simple ways you can practice relaxation techniques, eat healthy foods and drink water - all while getting up and moving every 60 minutes:

Practice relaxation techniques

Relaxation techniques are a great way to relieve stress, improve your emotional well-being, and reduce the risk of heart disease.
There are many types of relaxation techniques that can be used for different parts of the body and situations. You may want to try some simple practices like deep breathing or meditation on your own before seeking professional help from a health care provider such as an acupuncturist or massage therapist. Other types include yoga, tai chi and qigong (Chinese martial arts).
Some people find it easier than others when they're trying out new ways to relax their minds; however there are many different ways you can practice so everyone will find something that works best for them

Eat healthy foods and drink water

Eat a variety of foods.

Eat breakfast every day.
Drink water before, during and after meals.
Drink water before and after exercise (and heavy work).
Drink water before and after heavy exercise (such as running).

Get up and move every 60 minutes.

Get up and move every 60 minutes.

If you can't stand, get up from your desk or chair and walk around the office for at least 60 seconds.
If you're lying in bed, get out of bed and walk around the room for at least 60 seconds (or longer if possible). You can also do this while standing next to a wall or column as long as there isn't anyone else nearby who might be disturbed by it—ahem!

Eat slowly

Eating slowly can be a good thing. It gives your body time to tell you when it's full, and helps avoid overeating. Your stomach will be able to tell how much food is in front of you by the amount of time that passes between bites—and if you're not careful, this can lead to overeating as well as feeling like you've been cheated out of meals altogether!

If eating slowly isn't possible for some reason (like when dining with friends), try taking smaller bites instead: chew each bite about 50 times before swallowing it down into your mouth; then repeat until done eating all at once. This way, even though each mouthful is smaller than usual because there are fewer of them overall--and therefore less volume overall--you'll still be able to feel full after eating slower than usual because digestion takes longer so there isn't any room left over in our stomachs before needing more food later on...

Eat breakfast every day

Eating breakfast is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your health.

It’s true that many people skip breakfast, but this isn't a good idea. What's more, there are plenty of other foods that can help you feel full and satisfied throughout the day.

Don't smoke or use tobacco products

Smoking is harmful to your heart and can cause strokes, lung cancer and other health problems.

Smoking causes a build-up of plaque in the arteries that leads to heart disease.

It also increases the risk of stroke by increasing blood pressure and raising cholesterol levels (which can lead to clots).
People who smoke are more likely to die from cardiovascular disease than nonsmokers; they're also more likely to die from cancers such as breast cancer or prostate cancer.

Brush your teeth twice a day

Use dentifrice or toothpaste that contains fluoride, if you don't have sensitive teeth.

Floss at least once a day (if it is hard for you).

Visit the dentist every 6 months if needed and get x-rays done on a regular basis (at least every 3 years).

Get checked by a dentist if you have any pain or swelling in your gums

Take care of your teeth by brushing them regularly and visiting the dentist regularly.

Exercise daily

Even if it's just a walk around the block. It's better than nothing at all.

Exercise is a great way to stay healthy, but it’s not always easy. If you have a busy schedule and don’t have time for a formal workout routine, try taking the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator at work. If you can't find an exercise buddy who will go jogging with you every morning, try walking around the block instead—you'll get your heart pumping and burn some calories in the process!

Exercise is important for your health because it helps keep your body fit and functioning properly by increasing muscle mass so that we can run faster and lift heavier weights when needed; it also improves our cardiovascular system through increased blood flow throughout our veins (which allows oxygenated blood flow throughout all parts of our bodies). But remember: just like anything else in life (including eating right), if there's no motivation behind doing something regularly then chances are slim that we'll stick with it long enough until results start coming along naturally over time as well."
